Two Elevens after Eleven

Returning client Austin from Connecticut returned to Lake Wallenpaupack with is trusty video camera and high hopes for some more striped bass action.  Another early start before the dawn had Austin and his two friends Lou and Laura whom are newly weds up very early for their trip.  A very slow morning with a few strikes without any fish landed tried to give leverage to doubt, but these anglers kept at it and refused to lose hope.  A bright sunny day with blue skies and continuously building wind made the conditions more and more unfavorable, but then just after 11:00 a ferocious strike occurred and Lou hooked into a solid striper and landed an 11#er to break the ice.  After photos and video were taken and the crew got settled in again, it happened again as another wicked strike occurred.  This time Laura battled the beast and fought it valiantly before it was netted and that also would be an 11#er to match her husbands catch.  Usually a couple would exchange rings and vows, but this couple took it a step further and also exchanged striped bass.  Fun was had by all on the trip and we at Legends Outdoors would like to wish Lou and Laura the best in their union.
